Parth: There is so much anger and protest. Everyone wants me to pick a side. Krishna: Don’t pick a side. Always pick your dharma. Parth: And what is my dharma? Krishna: To build.

I am pro globalization, pro tech, and pro capitalism. Most in my circle hold similar views. Most are nationalistic and have no disdain for this country, and all of them criticize the current regime for its failures. The debate around extremism is too nuanced to discuss here. I have already been called “cow piss drinker” in this same tweet thread, so that I will refrain. Because all those who say they tolerate opposing views in reality don't like opposing views. The left has a history of that. India has always been a melting pot of identities. This is the only country where jews were never persecuted. Parsis made India their home for this very reason. Secularism is the DNA of this country, largely because of its civilizational values. And it will remain so for centuries, despite its painful history. EC made it abundantly clear that decisions were unanimous. The matter is already subjudious, even though the EC is an independent body. On the contentions themselves, you can't cherry-pick. The opposition can't say the EC was honest when it won certain state elections and disingenuous when it didn't. This is even more dangerous for democracy.
